Selco: How to Stay Warm During a Long-Term SHTF Situation

 

If you have not read the articles by Selco Begovic over at The Organic Prepper, I highly recommend them.

This guy survived a nightmare winter during the Bosnian Conflict in the 90’s and shares some of his hard earned wisdom.

 

Another Reminder Why You Should Start Raising Chickens

Egg Prices Surge to Records as Bird Flu Decimates Poultry Flocks

I did an article back in March about raising Chickens and is always the case, things have gotten worse.

Not to mention Food Processing Plants and Granary’s keep blowing up or catching fire like this ONE in Michigan.

Prepare Accordingly.

Self-Sufficiency DIY: Laundry Soap

Self-Sufficiency Sundays: Laundry Soap

 

My plan is (time permitting) to post a series of basic formulations and recipes for every day products you use around your home that work as well – or better – than the commercial ones you buy at your friendly big box store, and other tips towards moving towards a more holistic, self-sufficient life style – even if you live in an urban or suburban environment.

Why go to the bother of making your own laundry soap?  Well, there are several very good reasons for making the extra effort towards being more self-sufficient and weaning yourself from the mega-corporations.

You control the ingredients that go into homemade laundry soap. I had gotten lazy and stopped bothering to make my own, until one of my grandchildren had some pretty dramatic skin reactions to the “hypo-allergenic” laundry detergent from a well-known mega brand I had bought. Back to making my own!

SHTF Self-Education Series

H/T WRSA

SHTF Self-Education Series – From the Library: “Special Forces – Guerilla Warfare Manual”

 

Another worthy addition to your SHTF Flash Drive or Binder filled with Preparedness Manuals and other Associated materials.

I will admit a large percentage of these “SHTF” Books are written by morons and are useful for nothing but fire kindling but this is good one.
